Thoughts on this vs building in the Status ecosystem?

I'm curious what status is. Do they have a subreddit or anything?

Looks like an interesting project. When was this announced?

The ICO started on the 23rd if that's what you're asking

So an interesting ICO announcement. I do question why you should use blockchain technology for a social network I can understand that it gives an easy voting system for token holders, but it is not more than that in my opinion. No need to do it like this, besides raising some money. Will let this one pass due to a lack of technology advancement.
Maybe he uses blockchain technology because all traces there are stored immortal, can not be deleted.
It will make this project easy.

I’m new to crytocurrencies, so sorry if these are some really obvious questions but here they go. Now, there are several different coins and ICOs out there. Are they any different than Bitcoin or are they basically all the same thing? Like do they all work on the same ‘blockchain’? Also, how do I virtually hold these coins? Is there a website for this at all? Thanks for anyone willing to help out a complete noob!

Don’t think many people can help you through with these questions, just try to learn yourself

Google and try to find some beginner guides or videos to understand Bitcoin

Is it for real?
Would wait for the ICO though. A nice Idea to look for.

You're in the ICO right now lol

By the way, Ill have to have look into the white paper a little more in a bit before investing. Is there any more info on the site or is everything just on the whitepaper?

Sounds like a pretty decent idea.

When does this ICO end?

Feel like it's been a decade waiting for this.

I can put in some BTC if your site allows it though. The subreddit for this has been blowing up so you guys should definitely be getting enough investment money for this.

This is strange error. Delete your directory with source files and try again:

git clone https://bitbucket.org/mikaelh/primecoin-hp.git

Compiling from the primecoin-hp codebase actually worked.
Thanks!

I have "libdb4.8-dev", "libdb4.8++-dev" and "libboost1.48-all-dev" installed from https://launchpad.net/~bitcoin/+archive/bitcoin.

What about libgmp-dev?

Installed it with apt-get but that did not solve the compile error.

I'm getting this compile error when building primecoin on a clean Ubuntu 12.04 x64 server. Bitcoin compiles just fine on the same server. I pulled the latest revision from github.

Make command (in src/):

Quote
make -f makefile.unix clean; make -f makefile.unix USE_UPNP= primecoind

Command output:

Quote
g++ -c -O2 -pthread -Wall -Wextra -Wformat -Wformat-security -Wno-unused-parameter -g -DBOOST_SPIRIT_THREADSAFE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -I/opt/crypto_coins/primecoin/src -I/opt/crypto_coins/primecoin/src/obj -DUSE_IPV6=1 -I/opt/crypto_coins/primecoin/src/leveldb/include -I/opt/crypto_coins/primecoin/src/leveldb/helpers -DHAVE_BUILD_INFO -fno-stack-protector -fstack-protector-all -Wstack-protector -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2  -MMD -MF obj/init.d -o obj/init.o init.cpp
init.cpp: In function ‘void DetectShutdownThread(boost::thread_group*)’:

Where is the best place to ask for help? Unfortunately Github issues are not enabled for the primecoin repository.

Too bad he's taking a good name and not using it for something worthwhile. I was trying to figure out a "WorldCoin" where every human on the planet gets one coin as initial wealth distribution. A noble goal, but unfortunately not realistic Embarrassed unless somebody has an idea of how that could work?

Will every North Korean get one coin? Well, they will be ordered by the North Korean government to hand all their coins to Kim Jong Un, if the coin ever becomes valuable.
Will every Nigerian or citizen of Ghana get 1 coin, most of them don't even have access to computers?
And what will be it tied to? ID card? DNA? Fingerprint? How will you verify that?
And even if it were possible, a speculator who knows about cryptos would just buy milions of these who would be more than willing to sell it for $1.
In a poor country, $1 is a lot, so they would be more than happy to sell an abstract, "virtual" asset for something concrete like a loaf of bread.


Noble socialist idea, all warm and fuzzy, seem great at first, but when you employ logic and rationality always reveal their stupidity. Just like real life socialism (I lived in a socialist country for a short time).

Everyone would get one coin, also the North Koreans. They are humans too you know Cool
But indeed, it's not possible to uniquely identify everyone and "give" them a coin.

If a speculator buys people's coins for 1$ than that's a good thing, they all got a dollar!

I know it's at the very extreme of socialism, but you have to admit the current distribution method where people with the most GPU power get the most wealth is kind of a big problem.. I hope we will see some innovation away from the "traditional" PoW.

is there a good calculator for this coin?

There's no exchange rate so what do you want to calculate? Difficulty is the same as litecoin so you can use one of those calculators for mining probability.
